Hello everyone.I have a 17 year old who has been the debate of whether he is ADHD since grade two.Besides having social anxiety and OCD with learning disabilities he and his brother have been constantly tested and assessed.I feel that this was done for no other reason than what was available to them each year[very little] at school .Now he is 17 ,he is very smart but because of a life time of this seesawing he is failing terribly and very confused about who he is.Teen thing yes I know but why is this OK to do this to these young people.There is a book of protocol for these young people why is it that parents have to follow it to the letter to get any help they can yet school systems can be criminally negligent in following through with what these children need to succeed and learn.Why can I not sue for breach of contract .After all its been two boys times the number of years they have tried to learn equals22 years of all most pure torture for my boys and me.I am exhausted they are on drugs and go through anxiety and depression issues and on and on .Who answers for their life.

you bring up a very good point. alot of times schools let our kids slip through the cracks. they have the ability and should have the drive to help our kids. i am sorry you have been doing this for so long and have not gotten the help you and your kids deserve. just never give up. if ya gotta harrass people to get your kids help go for it! i hope you do find help, if ya want to chat or blow off steam im here! keeping you in my prayers!

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
